REVIEW:  by Dan Kramer
  The band and crew were treated to a nice day (compliments of Adam the promoter) 
  of relaxation with a little whale watching and kayaking before the show.  Yet 
  another sold out show on the tour even though the venue only held about 300 
  people and it was the last show of the tour.  Once again, another late start,
  but the guyz ripped right into their set with Love Invincible, as Bob was really 
  coming into his own on the keys.  The energy in the room created a steamy funk 
  that wouldn't be lifted until the end of the night when the windows and doors 
  were openned.  Positive spawned itself from Love Invisible as the night really 
  started to take off with spearits bouncing around the room.  Moving on into 
  People In The Middle, Dave had a nice solo that brought the crowd to their knees. 
  Every Single Soul was next and featured Michael doing the Beatnig's Nature again 
  towards the end of the song.  Stay Human flowed nicely out of Every Single Soul 
  and was one of the last chances for the band to showcase themselves until the next 
  show in S.F, on Sept. 7th.  
 
    Never Too Late, which is becoming a regular, found it's way behind Stay Human 
  where it has been showing up the most lately.  Michael then grabs his guitar from 
  Joey, the band's tech for the tour, and leads the band into Everyone Deserves Music.  
  This song has really come into it's own from the first time it was played and has 
  gone from a 2 1/2 min. song into an 6 to 7 min epic jam.  A quick breather and then 
  right into Yes I Will.  Michael adding Bob Marley's "Sun Is shinning" lyrics to the 
  end of the song before fading out with "When you're lost and alone, that's when the 
  rainbow comes for you".  

    What I Be was next but with Dave starting in with the guitar riff first instead 
  of Bob starting with the keyboard, maybe because Bob's keyboard was sounding ill 
  for that song.  Sounded pretty cool either way!  Good transition into Pray For 
  Grace which is growing on me even though I think it sounds alittle like the melody 
  for the song, "Just The Two Of Us".  I do like the way it flows with and out of 
  What I Be, though.  Next another new one for the Tofinians, the power ballad, 
  Love Why Did You Have To Go.  Dave helped write the music for this one, and you 
  can tell he really has the guitar parts down for this one from beginning to end. 
  From there, The boyz stepped it up a notch with and got the crowd moving a little 
  faster again with Soulshine to close the set up on a high note.  

    Michael then stops to say that they usually take a break about now but seeing 
  that we don't have much time left, they would just keep playing, unless everyone 
  wanted a break?  The Crowd screamed, "NO" and Radio readys himself for some 
  panflute action.  After panfluting around abit, Radio does this beatbox blowing, 
  into the mic.  Hopefully we'll see more of that in the future cause it was pretty 
  damn cool!  Right into Rock the Nation with Dave putting a little twist into the 
  solo during the bridge.  Runfayalife was next and Radio brought the vibes from 
  his beatbox intro with him for this song and freestyles.  After settling down 
  from Runfayalife, Feeling Free was a sweet, feel good, cool down kind of song to 
  ready us for the last 20 minutes of the night.  

    Michael invited everyone down for the 4th annual 911 Power To The Peaceful 
  concert.  Michael says, "if you don't think you can make it, ask this lady,
  Suzanne, standing in the front row who has been traveling to every show this 
  tour in a small white car from Petaluma all the way up to Tofino".  

    After giving it up for Suzanne, Michael sings Bomb The World for the folks 
  of Tofino before starting into Sometimes.  One verse into the song Michael 
  stops and says that they ran out of time and that the police are saying they 
  have to stop.  So Michael asks the promoter, Adam, if it is cool to go over 
  the curfew and he says go for it.  After they finish, Michael thanks the police
  for letting them go alittle over after introducing the band.  A good show,
  and an even better tour!
